 Greetings all,


Today we commemorate the passing of Emperor Romanos I Lekapenos on June 15th in 948 AD:


He was certainly an emperor with an interesting career... he's one of the few who became emperor by suffering a major military defeat! Honestly his legacy of relatives may have been the most amazing thing about him. Check out the list of his family in his wikipedia link!
